The
instructions on this page cover the configuration of Netscape,
on a home PC, to receive NSU e-mail.
You
can configure your home PC using Netscape to check your NSU
e-mail account; however, you will have to make changes to
Netscape preferences each time you want to receive e-mail
from a different e-mail account. The solution to this is to
use multiple profiles in Netscape. One profile would
point to your NSU e-mail account and the other to your Internet
Service Provider (ISP) account.
After
working through the instructions on this page, see Adding
a NSU profile to Netscape Profile Manager on a home
PC which will allow you to keep your NSU
e-mail separate from the e-mail you get from your ISP.
